صم

1 صّمَّ ذ , (S, M, Msb, K,) and صَمِمَ, which is extr., (M, K,) [first pers. of each صَمِمْتُ,] aor. يَصَمُّ, (M, Msb, K,) inf. n. صَمَمٌ (S, * M, Msb, K) and صَمٌّ; (M, K;) and ↓ أَصَمَّ; (S, M, Msb, K;) He was, or became, deaf; (M, * Msb, K; *) [or] he had a stoppage of the ear, and a heaviness of hearing. (M, K.) And صَمَّتِ الأُذُنُ, aor. as above, inf. n. صَمَمٌ, The ear was, or became, deaf. (Msb.) ― -b2- [And He was, or became, as though he heard not. ] One says, صَمَّ عَنْهُ (assumed tropical:) [ He was as though he heard not him, or it; he was deaf to him, or it ]; (M;) and عَنْهُ ↓ أَصَمَّ [meaning the same]. (S, M.) ― -b3- [Hence صَمَّ signifies also (assumed tropical:) He or it, uttered, or made, no sound or noise; like him who, not hearing, returns no reply to a call or question; (assumed tropical:) was dumb, or mute. ] One says, صَمَّتْ حَصَاةٌ بِدَمٍ (tropical:) [ A pebble made no sound in falling upon the ground by reason of blood ]; i. e. the blood was so copious that if one threw a pebble into it no sound would be heard in consequence thereof, (As, S, M, Meyd, K, TA,) because it would not fall upon the ground: (As, S, Meyd:) the saying is a prov. (Meyd.) And hence the saying of Imra-el-Keys, صمِّى ا@بْنَةَ الجَبَلِ, (S, K,) in the following verse: بُدِّلْتُ مِنْ وَائِلٍ وَكِنْدَةَ عَدْ وَانَ وَفَهْمًا صَمِّى ا@بْنَةَ الجَبَلِ (assumed tropical:) [ I have been given in exchange, for Wáïl and Kindeh,' Adwán and Fahm: make no sound, O pebble: app. meaning that he would shed much blood]: (S, TA: but this verse is omitted in one of my two copies of the S:) or the meaning is, O echo; (S, M, Meyd, K;) so they assert: (AHeyth, TA:) or O calamity; the saying being a prov.; (Meyd, TA;) applied to the case of a severe calamity; as though meaning be dumb, O calamity; said by As to be applied in relation to an event deemed excessively foul or evil: (TA:) or O serpent; (Meyd, TA;) which is said to be the primary meaning: (Meyd:) or O rock. (A Heyth, K, TA. [See also the second of the sentences here following.]) One says also, صَمَّ صَدَاهُ (tropical:) [ His echo became dumb, or may his echo become dumb; ] meaning he perished, or may he perish. (S, K, TA.) And ↓ صَمِّى صَمَامِ [in the CK erroneously written صُمِّى] meaning (tropical:) Increase, O calamity: (S, K, TA:) or it is applied to a man who brings to pass a calamity, and means be dumb, O calamity: (TA:) or صَمَامِ means calamity, and war; but primarily, the serpent; and this saying, like صَمِّى ا@بْنَةَ الجَبَلِ, is a prov. said when two parties refuse to make peace, and persist in opposition; meaning answer not the charmer, O serpent, but continue as thou art wont to be. (Meyd.) ― -b4- صَمَمٌ in relation to stones, (Lth, TA,) or stone, (M,) [app. as an inf. n.,] signifies The being hard [ and solid (see أَصَمُّ)]; or [as a simple subst.] hardness [ and solidity ]: (Lth, M, TA:) and in relation to a spear-shaft, the being compact; or compactness.

(Msb.) -A2- صَمَّ القَارُورَةَ, (S, K,) or صَمٌّ رَأْسَ القَارُورَةِ, (M,) aor. صَمُ3َ , (PS, [in a copy of the M صَمِ3َ , contr. to a general rule in the case of a trans. verb of this class, and app. a mistranscription,]) inf. n. صَمٌّ, (M,) He stopped the flask or bottle [app. with a صَمَام]: (S, K:) or he stopped the head of the flask or bottle, and bound it; as also ↓ اصمّهُ: (K:) or اصمّ القَارُورَةَ signifies he put a صِمَام to the flask or bottle. (S, K.) ― -b2- And صَمَّ الجُرْحَ, aor. صَمُ3َ , inf. n. صَمٌّ, He bound the wound, and put upon it a bandage with medicament. (M.) ― -b3- And صَمَّهُ, (S, M, K) inf. n. صَمٌّ, (M,) He struck him, (S, K,) or it, i. e. his head, (M,) with a staff, or stick, (S, M,) and with a stone, (S, M, K,) and with the like thereof. (M.)
